What guests think

At Latham Inn, reviews describe a budget, older property with friendly staff, mixed cleanliness, and basic rooms where Wi-Fi and power outlets can be unreliable; quiet stays and value are common, but maintenance issues frustrate some guests.

Several guests found rooms large or with balconies, and proximity to the airport plus a bar-grill next door adds convenience. Conversely, multiple reviews cite dirty linens, smoke or chemical smells, broken fixtures, and after-hours check-in or communication problems. Expect a simple, low-cost overnight with variable upkeep.

I didn’t feel completely safe. But, the PD was there multiple times to reassure safety. Well lit grounds. Our room had a Balcony. Dated appearance but functional. Best deal around if you don’t want to spend $$$$$. Clean.

Yes its an older place but the room was very clean. Perfect, inexpensive stopover for early morning flight, and although very close to the airport, I didn't notice airplane noise. Popular bar-grill out front was a pleasant surprise. I'd stay here again!

Had different opinion after arriving. Not handicap friendly (steps to check-in & to get to room). Entrance to room is in the rear of the building. 2 exit doors in room whereby 1 door is fully locked so in an emergency (fire in corridor) you have to exit into the fire and/or smoke. no continental breakfast-just coffee. Stains on the bedspread and a small hole in the wall in our room. The Latham Inn is set to the rear of the property. Check-in time varies as to what you read (computer-2:30pm; front desk-3:00pm; room-2:00pm). Just very disappointed ! ! I feel that an anticipated happy weekend turned into a nightmare even before it started. Only positive was that the front desk person (woman) was cordial. Unfortunately, I will not use the Latham Inn again.

One on the two sinks didn't work, lamps near bed not working, most power outlets dead, strong chemical smell that made all items that entered smell like that for days, carpet damp and spongy, hole in shower wall where lower faucet should be, black moldy rag on ice machine to absorb dripping water, Blood and other stains on sheets. Main picture in description located nowhere on property. The bathrooms hasn't been updated since the 70’s pictures in description must be the one room updated this millennium

We stayed here because there was no other available hotel under $300 for several hours in any direction. Positives: - area didn’t feel unsafe - balcony made for a nice place to drink a cup of coffee in the morning - was technically a room containing beds Negatives (hooooo boyyy): - almost no outlet in the room worked. We had to sue the bathroom outlet to charge our phones - the deadbolt was half broken. Sketchy. - as others have pointed out, the towels had yellow stains on them - the bed felt bad to sleep on Overall, stay anywhere else if possible.

Friendly service and room up to snuf. Except for WiFi. It was all but unusable in my room (214). I could connect but then only get data for a few seconds at a time, often not even enough to get my emails, then often getting disconnected after 5-10 minutes of the unusable connection. I verified this on 3 devices, and it wasn’t a matter of other guests hogging it because it was the same at all times of day. WiFi is easy enough nowadays that they should be able to get this right.

Disappointed. I expected a better experience, the bed was very stiff, the WiFi was spotty, the staff did not assist with certain items that were needed and I was disappointed when I was informed a slightly later checkout would be a higher price. Overall the property was in a decent area, it was very quiet but the staff and sleeping arrangements made for a very unpleasant stay.

The hotel has a message that you don’t see until after you have reserved the room that says you have to check in by midnight because they don’t have staff after that. It says to call and arrange your check-in. I called multiple times. I reached out tohotel.com And the lady I was on a chat with was nice enough to try calling also. No response she emailed them also no response. I did not reach them so I had to complete an additional three hours of trip to get to my destination exhausted. I want a refund
